MAX VERSTAPPEN (RED BULL RACING) IN THE FIA DRIVERS PRESS CONFERENCE #SaoPauloGP: ______________________________________ Tom Clarkson: Max, let's come to you now. So, Interlagos you've won here three times you've driven some spectacular races here as well can we start just by getting your thoughts on being back at this racetrack? Max Verstappen: Yeah, I mean like also like Fernando said it's a fantastic track good for racing. Yeah, it has had its crazy races at times and yeah, also for me winning from like starting up front or coming from the back with rain races, and stuff. So, and, it's looking like again maybe a chance of rain around. So yeah, it's exciting, I mean I always love coming back to Brazil also of course seeing part of my family, here extended family. So yeah, I enjoy my time here always. Clarkson: What is it about the layout of Interlagos that promotes this spectacular racing? Verstappen: I think it's just the type of corners, you know, they're quite banked in places you can do a few different lines, and then also like the follow-up between the corners with doing different lines that maybe gives you an opportunity for the next corner. The degradation normally is quite high, which I think anyway promotes better racing, when degradation is higher. So yeah, it's just all those factors together plus then of course, if you have weather that comes into play all those things, yeah they help to create a bit of a spectacle. Clarkson: And how do you see the competitive order this weekend, Max? Verstappen: Difficult to say, because I think the gaps are so tight up front that sometimes also just comes down to nailing the set-up, or the deployment. All these kind of things. So, yeah, we have to try and do that. The last few years, I think it has been a sprint event. So now, I guess we have a little bit more time to set-up the car. Might be good might be bad. I don't know, but we'll just see how it goes. David Croft, Sky Sports F1 – Max, talking of issues - we often hear a lot of issues during practice sessions during the race as well. Shifts - down shifts, up shifts, and the radio as well that doesn't seem to be working on your car. I know we're at the end of a triple header, but what have you been doing with Red Bull to try and make sure you don't have these issues again, because they seem to be coming back week after week for you? Max Verstappen: Uhm, well the radio is, I think a lot better in Mexico. We were also trying some things, and it's just a few tiny settings probably to still get right, but actually the team was hearing me very well. Maybe everyone else not, but that's actually fantastic to be honest, so we should actually try and keep it that way. And, with shifts or whatever that you hear me complain about, it's just because I'm never satisfied, because I think always certain things can be better and I always try to fine-tune, or yeah find improvements. So, you know, if you hear it as complaining or whatever it's more for me to to make sure that the team is always looking into details to try and find more lap time, because I know there is more lap time in it. Q - Supersport Africa, Max. You've gone from dominating championships to navigating a season where you've had to fight for your way back towards to the front. Now, you're sitting second in the standings despite the challenges earlier this year. What is it about your mentality that allows you to keep adapting and reinventing yourselves competitively both across different seasons, but also within a single season. I mean you also did last year. Max Verstappen: Yeah, it's a big surprise to be second to be honest in the championship, but we take it. I think, yeah we had a lot of difficulties as a team in the beginning, you know, the car was not where we wanted it to be. Probably also we still had to learn quite a bit from the power unit and I think we really learned a lot throughout the season. The car has naturally been a lot more competitive, of course, lately and, I think yeah. From my side, it's just, yeah, you never really give up, or in terms of like you just never really settle for P6 or 7 right, even when I was in that position, or fighting the midfield. I was still trying to do the best that I could get out of the situation, but yeah, sometimes that is a P6, you know, when the car is not not able to perform better, but then, yeah once the car is in a better window then you can fight further up front and eventually of course, win races and naturally, actually of course, when you win you take points out of everyone else. So, that's been the yeah, a bit the scene the last races, and I'm of course very happy with that, but it also shows that the team never gave up, and they were really pushing to find these improvements and understanding the difficulties. And, yeah, I'm just happy that in within a season, you know, we had such a big turnaround. 📸Alamy
